Pearl Harbor and non-curious journalists
This post will be kind of scattered, but I’m trying to limit my time on the internet because I’m enjoying Hawaii. Got a tee-time in a few hours and can’t freikin’ wait.
So Pearl Harbor – and more specifically the USS Arizona memorial – was absolutely amazing and moving. In fact, I haven’t gotten it all down on electronic paper yet, so I plan on posting that later. It may even have to come in a series of three posts. That’s how strongly I feel about the entire experience.
Until then, check out this post on Korr Values. It provides another person’s view on what is wrong with journalism.
An apparent lack of curiosity shows up in today’s newspapers in the form of ignorant political journalism, stories written straight from press releases and PR pitches, stories that treat technology and consumer electronics as alien subjects. It shows up inside newsrooms in the form of old-timers who still aren’t comfortable with computers, new-timers who’ve heard of RSS but haven’t tried it out, higher-ups who rarely read journalism/new media blogs.
Sounds like a solid opinion to me.
